After Transmigrating into a Scumbag Alpha, I Sweetly Pampered the Substitute Omega - Chapter 8

Overall, this family meeting went unbelievably smoothly. Or rather, aside from Qin Wei’s family, the others in the Qin family did not really care about Qin Ying’s identity as “Second Miss” unless she could produce real results.

When the two returned to the villa, the newly hired housekeeper thoughtfully reminded them,

“Miss Ying, Miss Ranjia’s sensitive period is about to arrive.”

Qin Ying froze. For some reason, the temperature of her cheeks suddenly rose. Even without a mirror, she knew her face had turned red.

Their first meeting had left too deep an impression. Qin Ying instinctively looked toward Luo Ranjia, but the moment her gaze touched Luo Ranjia’s delicate cheeks, she hurriedly withdrew it.

“I’ll have to trouble you this time.”

Luo Ranjia seemed not to see Qin Ying’s panic. She stopped and looked at Qin Ying with clear eyes, as if waiting for her answer.

The housekeeper had already tactfully left. In the space where only the two of them remained, Qin Ying could not help hiding her slightly curled fingers beneath her flamboyant curls.

“It’s no trouble. Not trouble at all.”

Qin Ying had the illusion that if she kept speaking, she would immediately turn into a stutterer.

“It’s good that it isn’t trouble. Then prepare yourself properly.”

After leaving behind those words, Luo Ranjia went upstairs ahead of Qin Ying.

Prepare? Prepare what?

Qin Ying stood there blankly for a full three seconds before she finally could not hold it in anymore. She quickly walked to her room, then covered her cheeks with both hands. Her heart was disobediently pounding.

Only after about ten minutes did Qin Ying recover from the flushed, heart-racing state. Immediately afterward, she became somewhat flustered again.

She was an Alpha, but she was an Alpha with an illness. However, after living for so long in her previous world, Qin Ying did not think this was anything important.

But when she thought that Luo Ranjia was a true Omega, and that she needed an Alpha to ease the discomfort brought by her sensitive period, anxiety rose in Qin Ying’s heart.

After struggling internally for a while, Qin Ying decided to call the family doctor.

However, after picking up her phone, she hesitated again. In the end, Qin Ying decided to go consult the doctor in person.

“Second Miss, Miss Ranjia truly can’t withstand your torment anymore.”

The family doctor had not received a call from this little tyrant recently, and had thought she had changed. Who would have thought that as soon as Luo Ranjia’s sensitive period was approaching, this person would appear again?

“Omegas are naturally delicate and should be protected in the palm of one’s hand. Even after marriage, if an Alpha goes too far, it’s still illegal.”

Listening to the family doctor’s nagging voice, Qin Ying felt a little awkward.

She obediently listened until the end, then said, “Doctor, I came this time to ask about the things I need to pay attention to.”

Things to pay attention to?

The family doctor did not react for a moment. It was already unexpected that Second Miss could listen to her nagging until the end. Now she was asking, with an embarrassed face, about things she needed to pay attention to. Was this still that arrogant and domineering Second Miss?

Qin Ying clearly also realized that her change had greatly impacted the doctor. She had no choice but to raise her voice and ask clearly, word by word,

“I want to know, will my illness affect my ability to soothe an Omega during her sensitive period?”

Because of the banned drug, Luo Ranjia’s sensitive period, which had erupted quickly, had especially high requirements for an Alpha.

First, the Alpha had to control her pheromones well and could not be too aggressive. Second, the Alpha had to be someone the Omega trusted, and could not frighten the Omega during the process of easing her sensitive period. Finally, the Alpha could not mark the Omega—not even with a temporary mark.

In other words, it was like placing the most delicious food in the world beside someone starving to death. That person could smell the aroma of the food, but could not taste it, and even had to maintain a gentle attitude through such torment.

“Your illness?”

The family doctor looked at Qin Ying strangely.

“After you fainted last time, your illness inexplicably improved. Didn’t I tell you?”

You really didn’t.

Qin Ying thought back to the chaos of that night and suspected that the family doctor had been frightened by her and Luo Ranjia’s condition at the time.

However, who could have known that the temporary excuse she had made up had actually been true before Qin Ying’s soul arrived? And who could have imagined that her condition would inexplicably begin to improve?

Seeing Qin Ying’s confused face, the family doctor felt that this Second Miss of the Qin family really might have changed her nature.

Because of this illness, every time this Second Miss of the Qin family saw her, she never gave her a good expression. If the doctor said even one sentence wrong, Qin Ying would start cursing loudly. Her vulgar language often made the doctor feel that this Second Miss did not seem like someone raised by the Qin family, but rather like a shrew.

“Then, with my current condition, soothing an Omega during her sensitive period should be no problem, right?”

Qin Ying felt she still had to confirm it again. Luo Ranjia’s body really could not endure any more trouble.

“There’s no problem. But during the soothing process, you’d better find a way to keep yourself clear-headed. The attraction of Omega pheromones to an Alpha isn’t that easy to overcome.”

The family doctor had originally wanted to advise Luo Ranjia to change to another Alpha to get through her sensitive period. After all, she did not need to be marked. She only needed gentle pheromones to ease the aftereffects brought by the banned drug.

Who would have thought that Luo Ranjia would refuse?

However, looking at Qin Ying, who had come to find her today, the family doctor felt that she had found the reason. The relationship between these two really seemed to be improving.

“I understand.”

Qin Ying let out a sigh of relief. Her red lips curved into a happy arc. After thanking the family doctor, she prepared to go back.

For convenience in seeking medical care, the family doctor lived not far from her villa. Qin Ying had put down a heavy stone in her heart. She waved for the driver to go back first. She planned to slowly walk home in the comfortable evening breeze.

Different worlds were prosperous in much the same way. In a city filled with towering buildings, one turn could suddenly make everything quiet.

In this quiet place, there was a small flower shop. The dim yellow light brought out a trace of warmth, causing Qin Ying to walk in unconsciously.

Flowers of all colors were placed on the display shelves. One glance showed they had been carefully tended.

A quietly blooming pear blossom occupied one corner. Its faint fragrance was not obvious, yet it instantly caught Qin Ying’s attention.

The pure white petals bloomed delicately on the branch, like the vulnerability Luo Ranjia revealed when standing alone.

Facing the arrival of this sensitive period, how could Qin Ying be the only one panicking?

Even though Luo Ranjia knew that Qin Ying was no longer the same as before, deep in her soul, she still held profound unease and fear.

Before Qin Ying went out, she had unintentionally seen Luo Ranjia standing alone on the balcony. Her thin body could not be nourished back to health in a day or two, and the pain of being abused could not be forgotten in a day or two either. For this approaching sensitive period, both of them were working hard to adapt and adjust.

“Miss, would you like to buy a pear blossom? This is the newly cultivated New Snow Pear Blossom. It can be planted indoors as an ornamental pear blossom.”

The shop assistant saw Qin Ying standing in front of the pear blossom for a long time and asked.

An ornamental pear blossom. Qin Ying wondered whether Luo Ranjia would like it.

Naturally, Qin Ying wanted to buy one and take it home. But thinking of Luo Ranjia’s resilient heart, she felt this new variety was not quite suited to her.

After hesitating for a while, Qin Ying could not help laughing at herself. When had she become so cautious and worried over every little thing?

“If you don’t want it, I’ll buy it.”

A familiar voice sounded behind her ear, like freshly melted snow water on a pear blossom branch—cold, yet sweet.

Qin Ying turned around and met a pair of smiling eyes. Luo Ranjia, dressed in a white long dress, made Qin Ying feel, in a daze, as if the person before her were a spirit transformed from the pear blossoms on the branch.

“Why did you come out?”

Qin Ying was a little surprised.

Luo Ranjia had indeed not left the villa alone for a long time. This time, after going out, she had unconsciously walked toward this flower shop and unexpectedly seen Qin Ying, who was also not at the villa.

Compared with the heavy makeup she had worn before, the current Qin Ying rarely wore makeup. Her already superior features, after removing cosmetics, better revealed an unadorned natural beauty. Under the dim yellow light, she unexpectedly had a quiet sense of peaceful years.

Because of the approaching sensitive period, Luo Ranjia had been unable to control the panic in her heart. But after seeing this scene, she suddenly felt much more at ease.

“Miss Luo used to be a regular customer of the flower shop. It’s only been these past six months that she hasn’t appeared much.”

The shop assistant was clearly very familiar with Luo Ranjia. Seeing the unusual atmosphere between the two of them, she said with a smile,

“Since the two of you know each other, please take your time choosing.”

Silence lingered around the two of them along with the paintings. Qin Ying felt somewhat heavy inside. Wearing this body, she always felt that she bore some responsibility for the suffering Luo Ranjia had once endured.

“I’m sorry, I—”

As she apologized, Qin Ying habitually wound a strand of long hair hanging in front of her around her finger.

“That wasn’t your fault. You don’t need to apologize for someone else.”

Luo Ranjia discovered that Qin Ying always easily fell into self-blame. This was probably a common problem among kind people.

“Then, do you like pear blossoms? What kind of pear blossoms do you like?”

Qin Ying looked at the smile that had not yet disappeared from Luo Ranjia’s eyes and asked.

“I like all flowers, so naturally that includes pear blossoms. All kinds of pear blossoms.”

Luo Ranjia liked placing a few bouquets of flowers in her room, but what she always chose were cut flowers that could only last about half a month. She had never considered this kind of potted plant that needed careful care.

However, under Qin Ying’s uneasy gaze at this moment, Luo Ranjia suddenly felt that raising this kind of potted plant that needed to be cared for was also quite nice.

“Then let’s buy this pot of pear blossoms.”

Qin Ying’s fluttering eyes seemed to be filled with vitality. Her pure smile made people stare in a daze.

“Then we’ll buy it.”

Luo Ranjia ignored the few seconds she had frozen and said lightly.

“Pear blossoms? Qin Ying, didn’t you hate pear blossoms the most? I remember the last time we went to that flower shop, you directly said pear blossoms were deathly pale and made people feel unlucky just by looking at them.”

A drake-like voice came from the entrance of the flower shop. The person’s multicolored hair clashed completely with the flower shop, as if he had come to smash the place.

In the original owner’s memories, there was indeed such a person. After all, with such a special hair color, he would attract attention wherever he went.

However, this person’s relationship with the original owner was not very good. Whenever they met, they mocked each other. As for the reason—

Qin Ying saw that this person’s gaze kept drifting toward the person beside her, so she directly stood in front of Luo Ranjia, trying to make sure this mutt could not even see a strand of Luo Ranjia’s hair.

“Who said I don’t like pear blossoms?”

Qin Ying denied it directly.

“Even if the previous Qin Ying didn’t like pear blossoms, that only proves the previous Qin Ying had bad taste. Now my taste has improved, so naturally I like pear blossoms.”

This mutt who dyed his hair like a rainbow—what were his eyes darting left and right for? Could he not see that she was still here?

If Qin Ying’s eyes could shoot fire, the man opposite her would probably have already turned to ash.

“Didn’t your eyes go blind? You used to stick beside Luo Ranshi every day. Can those eyes still be cured?”

This person was definitely an expert at sowing discord!

Qin Ying was full of anger, yet she did not dare turn around to look at Luo Ranjia’s current expression. She could only cross her arms and put on a disdainful posture.

“My eyes had finally recovered recently, and I was feeling refreshed. But then I saw the unique color combination on your head, and it truly hurt my eyes. With your situation, you’re only suited to staying at home. Otherwise, any person with normal aesthetics would easily want to beat you up after seeing you like this!”

“You!”

Watching the two of them argue in an unbelievably childish manner, Luo Ranjia stepped forward.

“Luo Xiaohu, are you childish?”

Luo Xiaohu?

Qin Ying froze when she heard this name. Wasn’t this one of the cannon-fodder male supporting characters in the early part of the original book who had tried every possible way to rescue Luo Ranjia?

As for why it was only in the early part, naturally it was because later on, this person also helplessly fell in love with Luo Ranshi and completely threw the matter of saving Luo Ranjia aside.

“He’s a relative from my Omega mother’s side. His surname is Luo, not Luo from my surname.”

Luo Ranjia stood beside Qin Ying and introduced him.

Wait, this original book really liked playing around. Close relatives—

Before her yellowed thoughts could drift halfway, Qin Ying suddenly remembered that Luo Ranjia and Luo Ranshi were paternal half-sisters.

Just what charm did Luo Ranshi have that even someone who disliked her so much could become her devoted simp?

Qin Ying, who was pondering this unreasonable plot, did not realize at all that the other protagonist she was complaining about had already stepped one foot into the flower shop.

“Sister Qin Ying.”

Luo Ranshi walked toward her with tears in her eyes.

Qin Ying: Don’t ask. If you ask, my scalp is numb.

Seeing the female lead appear, Qin Ying did not know what a devoted cannon fodder should do. In any case, she only wanted to run.

However, Luo Ranshi’s target was Qin Ying, so how could she let her leave?

“Sister Qin Ying, I heard you went back to the old residence yesterday. Grandma Qin, Grandma Qin wasn’t angry with you, was she?”

She was. If I hadn’t been here, the Sister Qin Ying you’re talking about should have already lost her identity as a Qin family member and would be miserably drowning her sorrows in alcohol.

Qin Ying thought irritably. Since she could not avoid the female lead, then she would face her head-on.

“What? Are you disappointed that you didn’t hear news of me being kicked out of the Qin family?”

Still maintaining her arms-crossed posture from earlier, Qin Ying spoke in a careless, roguish manner.

Luo Ranshi froze, feeling somewhat nervous.

After Qin Ying became a flaw in the Qin family, quite a few people had wanted to use Qin Ying to find a way to swallow the Qin family. However, they had not been very successful.

Luo Ranshi naturally knew this as well. She also knew about this useless woman’s obsessive admiration for her. Because of this, she had been forced to wrong herself several times by appearing in front of Qin Ying and using her to do things for her.

But starting last week, this person seemed to have suddenly lost interest in her. Not only did she stop asking about Luo Ranshi’s schedule, she had not even called once.

More importantly, last time, Luo Ranshi had taken the initiative to go to Qin Ying’s villa, intending to enjoy Luo Ranjia’s miserable appearance, only to discover that Luo Ranjia was actually perfectly fine and even seemed to be getting along well with Qin Ying.

How could that be allowed?

Hiding the malice in her eyes, Luo Ranshi raised her head again and asked with tears brimming in her eyes,

“Sister Qin Ying, have you forgotten the happy times we had before?”
